He was collecting the consignments of narcotics from Pakistani handlers in Tangdhar and other locations at LoC, J&K, and was further delivering them to the other co-accused persons in the case.
The case was initially registered on June 11, 2020 in Handwara, and was re-registered by NIA on June 23, 2020.
